ISEAL’s Online Community is intended to provide a hub for member-member communication, and will be a place where ISEAL staff can provide training, capacity building and where members can easily access a volume of resources in various formats, including video and audio.

On Wednesday, myself and Communications Manager Wiebke Herding and Alison Kriscenski of the Forest Stewardship Council presented two workshops on Building Online Communities to our members.

These workshops, which ran for three hours total, also discussed how to run online consultations and use online tools for good.

This week, ISEAL staff will be testing the Online Community, which is currently at the beta stage.

About this blog

Here at the ISEAL Alliance, we're keen on exploring online tools to connect the voluntary standards movement. This blog chronicles our learning on how to take our consultations and learning network online, leading up to a complete relaunch of our online presence later this year! We're looking forward to your input and comments to this process.
